Definitions
- the present invention relates to a display device and a driving method thereof, and more particularly to a display device using a current-driven light emitting element and a driving method thereof.
- a display device using an organic electroluminescence (EL) element As a display device using a current-driven light emitting element, a display device using an organic electroluminescence (EL) element is known.
- the organic EL display device using the self-emitting organic EL element does not require a backlight necessary for a liquid crystal display device, and is optimal for thinning the device. Moreover, since there is no restriction
- organic EL elements constituting pixels are usually arranged in a matrix.
- An organic EL element is provided at the intersection of a plurality of row electrodes (scanning lines) and a plurality of column electrodes (data lines), and a voltage corresponding to a data signal is applied between the selected row electrodes and the plurality of column electrodes.
- a device for driving an organic EL element is called a passive matrix type organic EL display.
- a switching thin film transistor (TFT: Thin Film Transistor) is provided at the intersection of a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of data lines, and a gate of a driving element is connected to the switching TFT, and the switching TFT is turned on through the selected scanning line. Then, a data signal is input to the drive element from the signal line.
- TFT Thin Film Transistor
- a device in which an organic EL element is driven by this drive element is called an active matrix type organic EL display device.
- An active matrix organic EL display device differs from a passive matrix organic EL display device in which an organic EL element connected thereto emits light only during a period when each row electrode (scanning line) is selected. Since the organic EL element can emit light until the selection), the luminance of the display is not reduced even if the duty ratio is increased. Therefore, the active matrix organic EL display device can be driven at a low voltage and can reduce power consumption.
- the active matrix type organic EL display has a drawback that even if the same data signal is given due to variations in characteristics of the drive transistor, the luminance of the organic EL element is different in each pixel and uneven luminance occurs. .
- Patent Document 1 discloses a method of compensating for characteristic variation for each pixel using a simple pixel circuit as a method for compensating luminance unevenness due to variations in characteristics of drive transistors.

- the scanning line driving unit 504 sequentially supplies the control signals to the scanning lines 701 to 70m at a horizontal period (1H) to scan the light emitting pixels 501 line by line.
- the feeder line drive unit 505 supplies a power supply voltage to be switched between the first voltage and the second voltage to each of the feeder lines 801 to 80m in accordance with the line sequential scanning.

- the light emitting element 514 has a cathode connected to the ground wiring 515.
- the storage capacitor 513 is connected to the source and gate of the drive transistor 512.
- the feed line driving unit 505 switches the feed line 801 from the first voltage (high voltage) to the second voltage (low voltage) while the signal line 601 is at the reference voltage. Thereby, the light emitting pixels in the first line are extinguished.
- the scanning line driving unit 504 sets the voltage of the scanning line 701 to the “H” level to make the switching transistor 511 conductive, and applies the reference voltage to the gate of the driving transistor 512.
- the source of the driving transistor 512 is set to the second voltage. With the above operation, the reset operation of the drive transistor 512 is executed.
- the reset operation is an operation of erasing the gate potential and the source potential of the driving transistor in the previous light emission period and resetting the gate potential and the source potential to an initial state.
- the preparation for correcting the threshold voltage Vth is completed by the reset operation.
- the feed line driver 505 switches the voltage of the feed line 801 from the second voltage to the first voltage in the correction period before the voltage of the signal line 601 is switched from the reference voltage to the signal voltage, so that the drive transistor 512 A voltage corresponding to the threshold voltage Vth is held in the holding capacitor 513.

- the reset period and the threshold correction period must be set for each light emitting pixel row.
- a light emission period must be provided subsequently. Therefore, it is necessary to set the reset period, threshold correction timing, and light emission timing for each pixel row. For this reason, as the display panel is increased in area, the number of rows also increases, so that more signals are output from each drive circuit, and the frequency of the signal switching is increased, and the scanning line drive circuit and the feed line are increased. The signal output load of the drive circuit increases.
- the conventional image display device described in Patent Document 1 has a limit as a display device that requires high-precision correction because the reset period of the drive transistor and the correction period of the threshold voltage Vth are less than 2H.
- the current driving operation of the driving transistor has hysteresis, it is necessary to sufficiently initialize the gate potential and the source potential with a sufficient reset period. If the light emission operation is performed with an insufficient reset period, the fluctuation history of the threshold voltage and mobility for each light emitting pixel will remain for a long time, and uneven brightness of the image will not be sufficiently suppressed, and display of afterimages, etc. Deterioration cannot be suppressed.

Abstract
Description
本実施の形態における表示装置は、マトリクス状に配置された複数の発光画素を有する表示装置であって、発光画素列ごとに配置された第1信号線及び第2信号線と、発光画素行ごとに配置された制御線とを備え、複数の発光画素は、複数の発光画素行を一単位とした2以上の駆動ブロックを構成し、複数の発光画素のそれぞれは、駆動トランジスタと、一端子が駆動トランジスタのゲートに接続された容量素子と、駆動トランジスタのソースに接続された発光素子と、ゲートが走査線に接続され駆動トランジスタのゲートと固定電位線との間に挿入された第1スイッチングトランジスタと、ゲートが制御線に接続され駆動トランジスタのソースと容量素子の他端子との間に挿入された第2スイッチングトランジスタとを備え、奇数番目の駆動ブロックに属する発光画素は、さらに、第1信号線と容量素子の他端子との間に挿入された第3スイッチングトランジスタを備え、偶数番目の駆動ブロックに属する発光画素は、さらに、第2信号線と容量素子の他端子との間に挿入された第4スイッチングトランジスタを備える。これにより、駆動トランジスタのリセット期間を駆動ブロック内で一致させることが可能となる。よって、駆動回路の負担負荷が低減する。また、リセット期間を1フレーム期間に対して大きくとることができるので、画像表示品質が向上する。
VREF-VCAT<Vth+Vt(EL) (式1)
VR1-VCAT<Vt(EL) (式2)
上記式1及び式2を満たす数値例として、例えば、VREF=VCAT=VR1=0Vである。
Vgs=(VREF-Vdata) (式3)
ここで、Vgsは、例えば、0V~5Vとなるため、図5(a)に示すように、駆動トランジスタ114はオン状態となり、ドレイン電流が有機EL素子113へと流れ込み、k番目の駆動ブロックに属する発光画素11Aでは、上記式3に規定されたVgsに応じて一斉に発光する。この一斉発光動作は、第1発光ステップに相当する。
VS=Vt(EL)+VCAT (式4)
また、上記式3で規定されるVgs及び式4で規定されるソース電位から、駆動トランジスタ114のゲート電位は、式5で表される。
VG=(VREF-Vdata)+Vt(EL)+VCAT (式5)
以上、発光画素行を駆動ブロック化することにより、駆動ブロック内では、駆動トランジスタ114のリセット動作が同時に実行される。また、発光画素行を駆動ブロック化することにより、制御線131を駆動ブロック内で共通化できる。
t1H=tD+PWD+tR(D)+tF(D) (式6)
さらに、PWD=tDと仮定すると、1水平期間t1Hは式7のように表される。
tD+PWD+tR(D)+tF(D)=2tD+tR(D)+tF(D) (式7)
となる。式6及び式7より、tDは式8で表される。
tD=(t1H-tR(D)-tF(D))/2 (式8)
となる。また、リセット期間は基準電圧発生期間内に開始し終了しなければならないので、リセット期間を最大で確保したとして、tDは式9で表される。
tD=PWS+tR(S)+tF(S) (式9)
となり、式8及び式9より、PWSは式15のように表される。
PWS=(t1H-tR(D)-tF(D)-2tR(S)-2tF(S))/2 (式10)
が得られる。
t1H={1秒/(120Hz×1110本)}×2=7.5μS×2=15μS
となる。ここで、tR(D)=tF(D)=2μS、tR(S)=tF(S)=1.5μSとし、これらを式10に代入すると、リセット期間であるPWSは、2.5μSとなる。
